Manchego Madness

Manchego reigns as Spain’s most popular cheese export for good reason: Its pliable texture, nutty aromas and full body make it eminently snackable. It pairs perfectly with the salty crunch of Marcona almonds, regional Rioja wines, and benefits from sweet sticky quince paste. How do you pick it from the crowd? Search for the distinctive basket weave pattern on the rind. This originally resulted from the “belt” they would wrap around the wheel to squeeze out excess whey, resulting in longer aging potential.

Use and Care

  • Refrigerate upon arrival (we recommend the vegetable crisper, which is slightly warmer and moister than the rest of the fridge)
  • To serve, remove your cheese from the refrigerator an hour before eating to bring to room temperature
  • Cheese needs to breathe, so do not wrap it in plastic wrap
  • Wrap any unfinished cheese in cheese paper or wax paper and store in the refrigerator
  • Aged cheese such as Mahon and Manchego will remain fresh for 2 to 3 weeks if properly stored
  • Tortas are best consumed fresh; do not wait to enjoy them
